quick oops question

[Lost User]

I am new to object oriented. With classes and objects, what is the equivalent for global varialbe. Suppose I have different forms...each forms has its own class. If I want to decalre a variable that is common to all forms, so that I can change and retrieve the value of that variable in any form I want, how do I do that. Thanks.

In C# declare the variable as a static member of one of the classes. It can be accessed by classname.variable name in the other classes.

A much better way would be to pass the variable to each form as opposed to decalring it as global. For several "global" types declare a class and pass it to each form.
